Bombardier
announced Tuesday that it has teamed up with Pratt & Whitney to
develop and implement a data management service for the CSeries
aircraft - part of the overall Bombardier Aircraft Health Management
System (AHMS) capable of transmitting real-time and recorded data
from the aircraft. The AHMS will facilitate remote troubleshooting
and deliver efficient and accurate diagnostics for use by maintenance
and flight crews.
Under
this agreement, Pratt & Whitney's eFAST system will be the
infrastructure unit used to perform data transmissions from the
CSeries aircraft's on-board Health Management Unit to the ground.
Along with Bombardier, they will make up the data acquisition
structure which will automatically download, process and store data
that will be available for upload to respective customer portals.
Pratt & Whitney is also the supplier for the CSeries aircraft's
PurePower Geared Turbofan engines.
“CSeries
operators will be able to immediately review the performance of their
aircraft, allowing them to make smarter business decisions related to
their PurePower engine fleet,” said Graham Webb, vice president,
Pratt & Whitney Commercial Engines.
“Pratt
& Whitney and Bombardier together have developed a service that
will provide real-time monitoring of all critical aircraft systems
for use in optimizing flight operations and lowering maintenance
costs,” said Rob Dewar, vice president, CSeries Program, Bombardier
Commercial Aircraft.
